  The survey about childhood in the Third World shows that the struggle for survival is long and hard.But in the rich world, children can   1   from a different kind of poverty-of the spirit.  2  , one Western country alone now sees 14 000 attempted suicides(自杀)every year by children under 15, and one child   3   five needs psychiatric(心理)advice.

  There are many good things about   4   in the Third World.Take the close and constant relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbours for example.In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between   5   and children.But in most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices.  6  , the child sees mother and father, relations and neighbours working   7   and often shares in that work.

  A child   8   in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community’s   9  :helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies-rather than   10   playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets   11   playing with dolls.

  These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the   12   children.Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions of the sun or the moon in the sky.Children in the rich world,   13  , are provided with a watch as one of the   14   signs of growing up, so that they can   15   along with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows…

  Third World children do not usually   16   to stay indoors, still less in high rise apartments(公寓).Instead of dangerous roads, “keep off the grass” signs and “don’t speak to strangers”, there is often a sense of   17   to study and play.Parents can see their children outside rather than observe them   18   from ten floors up.

    19  , twelve million children under five still die every year through hunger and disease.But childhood in the Third World is not all   20

  Children model themselves largely on their parents.They do so mainly through identification.Children identify   1   a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are   2   of that parent.The things parents do and say-and the   3   they do and say to them-therefore strongly influence a child's   4  .However, parents must consistently behave like the type of   5   they want their child to become.

  In the same way, all children are not influenced   18   by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs.  19   in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the   20   of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it.

  I was fifteen months old, a happy kid….until the day I fell.It was a   1   fall.I landed on a glass rabbit which cut my eye badly enough to make it blind.Trying to save the eye, the doctors stitched(缝合)the eyeball together where it was   2  , leaving a big ugly scar(疤痕)in the middle of my eye.The attempt   3  , but my mother, in all of her wisdom, found another doctor and the doctor said that if the eye were removed   4  , my face would grow up badly ditorted(扭曲),   5   my scarred, sightless, cloudy and gray eye lived on with me.As I grew, this sightless eye in so many ways   6   me.

  An old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and a four-year-old grandson.The old man's hands   1   , his eyesight became unclearm, and his   2   were unsteady.The family are together nightly at the dinner table.But elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing   3   made eating rather difficult.Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor and milk spilled on the tablecloth.

  The son and daughter-in-law became   4   with the mess.So they set a small table in the corner.There grandfather ate alone   5   the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the dinner table.  6   grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a   7   bowl.

  Sometimes when the family glanced in grandfather's   8   , he had a tear in his eyes as he ate alone,   9  , the only words the couple had for him were sharp blames when he dropped a fork or spilled food.The four-year-old son watched it all in   10  

  One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood pieces on the floor.He asked the child   11  .“What are you making? ” “Oh, a little, bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I   12  .” The four-year-old son smiled and   13   work.The words so   14   the parents that they were speechless.Then tears started to stream down their cheeks.That evening the husband gently led grandfather back to the family table.  15   the rest of his days he ate every meal with the family.And for   16   reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, or the tablecloth soiled.

  Children's eyes always   17   , their ears always listen, and their minds always   18   the messages they absorb.If they see us patiently provide a happy home atmosphere for family members, they will also follow the good example.The wise parent realizes that every day is being   19   for the child's future.Let us all be wise builders and role   20  .Take care of yourself, and those you love, today, and every day!

I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a car and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can vaguely remember the brightness of __36____ and what color red is. It would be ___37____ to see again, but a(n) __38____ can do strange things to people. I don’t mean I would __39___ to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate more what I had _40_____.                        

My parents and my teachers saw something in me ----- a __41____ to live ---- which I didn’t see, and they made me want to fight in out with _42____.

I __45___ something bigger than that: a confidence that I am, despite being __46____, a real, positive person; that there is a special place where I can make myself fit.

It took me years to discover and strengthen this confidence. It had to start with the easy and simple things. __47____ a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was laughing at me and I was __48____. “I can’t use this,” I said. “Take with you,” he urged me, “and roll it around.” The words __49___ in my head. “Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could _50_____ where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought _51____ before playing baseball. At Philadelphia’s Overbrook School for the Blind I _52___ a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.

I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to be clear about my _53____. It was no good crying for something that I knew at the start was __54___ out of reach because that only invited bitterness of failure. I would fail something anyway, __55___ on the average I made progress.
